Unhappy Rear Brake Light Gone

I have been told that one rear brake light on my daughters mini 1 is not working, is this something you can fix yourself does anyone know, have had a search but cant find anything.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Might be worth checking it's not just the bulb has gone? If its the brake light in one of the side clusters, remove the inner access panel from within the boot, to give you access to the back of the cluster.

(a torch would be handy here).

Reach in, and pinch in the two thumb clips to release the bulb holder, then pull out into the boot. Change bulb and refit in the reverse order of the above
